The Rules of FootGolf

Sunday, September 22nd, 2013

FootGolf has been immensely popular since we introduced it at Haggin Oaks in mid-July. I love this 10 Quick Basic Rules of FootGolf Card that the AFGL has developed to help introduce new players to the world of FootGolf. At Haggin Oaks, we adhere to the dress code mentioned in this infographic during tournaments; otherwise you can wear casual attire when you come out to play FootGolf at our golf facility.

FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. The game is played with a regulation #5 soccer ball at a golf course facility on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf. FootGolf as a game is played throughout the world in many different forms, but as a sport it is regulated by the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG). The American FootGolf League (AFGL) is the exclusive member of the FIFG and governing body for the sport of FootGolf in the United States. The AFGL is organizing tournaments throughout the U.S. and working with golf courses to bring FootGolf to their clubs as another avenue for revenue and to develop the game further.
